Orions: Legend Of Wizards App Reviews

Im pretty sure they only updated the app to let us know Orions 2 was coming out. *sigh* In any case, I love this game. Its the first game I purchased for my first gen iPod touch. And still remains one of my favorites. Lets hope Orions 2 ceases to be Chillingos "Duke Nukem Forever" vaporware, and actually comes out soon.

ITS A NEW UPDATE! I DIDNT THINK THIS WAS EVER GOING TO COME OUT!!

Finally an update and orions2 comming soon!! Same old bugs tho.. Few new ones too.. Dissapearing buildings and such that u place and are invisible. Need to fix.. Ya?

WinMos had Deckmaster since 2008

It has a new twist on the planeswalkers duels. I love it!!! If only they could make card packs for each book that would be great. When is orions 2 coming out???

Great game... When you actually get to play it. Old version had major bugs and the update actually found a way to introduce more (shouldnt updates fix bugs, not add them in? Or is this their insidious way to funnel players to the sequel?)

Love it. Cant wait for 2!

I didnt have too many problems with this game, but after update buildings are missing, cant build certain buildings and it crashes a lot. Slightly backwards of most updates. Just sayin

Sooooooooooo wheres the sequel? Is it gonna be another 3 years?

This use to be a favorite app, but the new "update" has broken the game (at least on Iphone 4). Ive removed the 5 stars and lowered it to 3. This was one game that has never left my iPhone since my original iPhone 3G, but now it may finally get the boot... Issue 1: The blue crystal mine isnt always buildable from start anymore. In fact, I finally was only able to build it in one of my games by having the game crash, and then reopening the game. Issue 2: The game crashes often, especially when using the quick change between cities. Issue 3: Some of the cards have their abilities messed up. Specifically, cards which use to take one or two elements and convert into another elemental type dont always convert the right type to the right type.

Had this app on my iPod since day one on my first gen. Still play it regularly. Best app on the iPod IMO. Cant wait for the update for online. Gonna be sick.

Beautiful graphics, perfect gameplay. Im totally addicted. Waiting for Orions: The Second Age. New version has some animation bugs, so rating down to 3 stars.

The card battles are fun with dynamic interactions between the different colors of creatures. The campaign system makes a great game even better!

v1.2 I still enjoy the game. The glitches in duel mode are annoying, but so much as not to play. v1.1 No doubt this is an enjoyable game, but kept crashing out on the Big map. It got to the point I was saving after I moved, after I did my resource allocation and after combat to make sure I didnt loose any progress. -(( I would type a more thorough review, but there isnt enough space for full disclosure about this games pluses and pitfalls ))-

Ive played so many hours on this app Ive lost count somewhere around 50. Replayability is great!

Think: Master of Magic meets Magic the Gathering meets Master of Orion (ok, all these games are old-skool, but thats the way I roll) This is definitely a solid strategy game, with great replayability. The only thing Ive found so far is that its a bit confusing how much gems (and of what type) you have at any given time. Also, the AI could use some work. However, for those of you whove played any of the games I mentioned or anything similar, this is great great stuff, and definitely worth the price. Update: the latest update made the game unplayable (cant place any blue crystals)... hope they fix this, it was a great timesink.

Some major problems: if app crashes, the autosave doesnt remember the last battle so you end up with your balloon over a neutral Orion with no way to fight. Autosave is broken. This happened to me now in three separate games and forced a restart in each one. This issue is so severe I spend 30 to 60 min starting a battle and then I loose everything and have to start over. Id really like my money back. Yes I have full-forced restarted, yes I have no other apps running, yes I even uninstalled it and reinstalled the game; no it didnt help. In the shop for cards often you cant buy a card because it tries to add cards you never bought. Areas to improve: You cant see your money when buying cards. You cant see how strong a neutral Orion is without fighting. You cant scroll the city map while building. The card management is clunky because you cant get any overview and dragging cards two at a time is not very user friendly. Game mechanics: It would be nice if one could build their entire initial deck instead of random. But cards per city should be simpler and fewer. Too much micro. You should start with very few card options and discover them as you conquer cities instead of seeing them all but Grayed out. Think simple and easy, like zombies vs plants does in the campaign, except here it would be random, maybe one new card option per city captured and fixed gold/resources per turn, per city. Currently cities produce too much resources each. Make having additional cities less critical to your card-buying power, and maybe add upkeep costs for strong decks to offset a winning side from landsliding. In a battle you just get all your cards, why not a hand? Btw its not illegal to jail break, not that my phone is, it is illegal to put illegal software: yes. Apple can make it hard to jail break, but the courts agree its not illegal to do so. Hope you can fix at least the critical item! Thanks, Sebastian

Crash If it wasnt for the auto save feature, Id gave it one . Happens very often. Bug I choose Character A for new game. When game begins, I got Character B out of the blue. Did this process 5 times till I got the correct character. Not multitasking As said above.

If you are a fan of the old card game magic the gathering, you will be a fan of this game. Combines card based combat with some strategy elements. However, this game and the mini version of the new game have had multiple crashes on my iPad.

Great game but this things been around since before the iPhone was ever released. Could you maybe work on the crashing problems? Im on a 4th gen iPod after a fresh restart and still crash almost every turn.
